Working with People at the Crossroads

Life is full of changes, and navigating them can often feel overwhelming. Whether you're a woman balancing a career and cultural expectations, an immigrant bridging two worlds, or a professional striving to pursue a career while providing care to elderly parents from afar, you’re not alone. We are here to help you embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. Through our work, we provide guidance and support to help you navigate life’s crossroads with confidence and resilience.

The Three Pillars of Our Work:

Author
As an writer, I bring to life the complex realities of African women who dare to break free from societal expectations while pursuing their dreams. My published books explore the delicate balance between personal ambition and cultural heritage. In Ignited by Education, for example, you’ll follow Sophia Mariko, a determined woman whose career ambitions take her to the city, but who remains deeply connected to her village roots. Sophia’s story is just one of many that explores the challenges and triumphs of embracing both modern and African traditional identities.

African women are often portrayed with great depth, diversity, and complexity, reflecting the diverse experiences and cultures across the African continent. Through books, we capture and portray the heart of the women's journeys vividly, weaving their diverse stories and compelling narratives. Not only do our tales resonate, but they also educate, inspire, inform, and entertain. Whether it's the struggle to escape societal "boxes" or the unique experiences of immigrants, my novels provide rich, relatable narratives that resonate with readers from all walks of life. If you cherish authentic narratives about African women's lives, our book collection are a must-read. We invite you to immerse yourself in these stories—each a unique blend of challenge, triumph, and transformation. [Click here to immerse yourself in the world of my books.]

Coach
Have you ever wondered what happens when professionals leave their villages to pursue careers in urban areas or abroad? Who provides care to the elderly people they leave behind in rural villages? I’ve lived this experience—balancing the demands of a career with the responsibility of providing care to elderly parents. My journey has equipped me with skills, and taught me invaluable lessons. Now, I coach others to develop strategies to ensure their loved ones receive relevant care, even from a distance.

My coaching extends beyond caregiving; I also guide immigrants to document their life stories as their legacy for future generations. This documentation preserves your family history and strengthens family bonds, ensuring that your experiences and wisdom are passed down through generations. [Click here for details.]

Speaker

Drawing on my background in sociology, my professional career endeavours across Africa and globally, and the lessons from my life as a parent, sibling, immigrant, and professional, I make presentations on a variety of topics, including:

  1. Change & Adaptation: How education, culture, and traditional practices influence how African women adapt to change.

  2. Remote Caregiving: Practical steps for providing culturally appropriate care to elderly parents, remotely.

  3. Cultural Heritage and Identity: The significance of names for Africans, and their role in preserving heritage and identity.

Through these talks, I offer insights and strategies to help individuals at life's crossroads navigate the intersections of culture, identity, and change. My talks are designed to inspire, educate, and empower, providing actionable steps for those looking to balance their personal and professional lives while living within specific cultural setups.
